Some of the oldest stories known to mankind already speak of ghosts, souls and "higher beings". If your question had been "since when do people talk about (...)" the answer would probably be: since they can speak.
Your question, however, is "since when do they KNOW". Not about stories, but actually know about ghosts and souls. The answer to that question is: not yet. The first person to prove knowledge is still entitled to the one million dollar that James Randi has offered.
If you dont believe i them then you wont get haunted by them you just dont believe in them and by the way there id no such things as ghosts people only believe in them because they think that ghosts are the souls of dead people but there not souls just go into heaven there not ghosts but if you want to believe in them then you can !. I really dont think that ghost exist because if souls go to heaven or hell then why would there be lost souls also i only believe in demons or and angel but if there is such things as ghost then i know that they are not good ghost because good souls go to heaven with their king. ------------------ What this person has told you is not true. A person's belief in ghosts is what can keep them alive. If you don't believe in ghosts then they will do some things to make you believe in them. Even hurt you if they have to. Trust me, I've had experience with them. They are real. Just because people haven't seen them or felt them doesn't mean that they don't exist. I mean you can't see air and you know that it exists, right? There are even ghosts in the bible so yeah they exist. Ghosts are spirits of those who have passed on, who are trapped on earth or choose to stay on earth.
You don't. Just trust me on this one, OK? No ghosts.
Ghosts do not exist. It is just a figment of people's imagination. No proof whatsoever they are real.
Not everyone believes in ghosts. Often, if not always, ghosts are in people's heads. The living people learn that a horrible murder happened in a certain home (for example) and as long as people know this fact it "haunts" them. The ghosts last as long as people "know" that they are there. In other words, if you don't know the history of a house, the ghosts are "unknown" and once the house has lost it's history it is much less likely that anyone will believe that it has ghosts. There are many unexplainable noises, shadows, and events in daily life. When these happen in a "haunted" home they are attributed to the "ghosts".
I strongly think people should beware of real haunted houses. Everyone should know that ghosts are the strongest things on earth (other than god).
Know Your Ghosts E.P. was created in 1997.
Not everyone. Ghosts can choose who sees them unless they are caught off guard - in which is very rare. They choose the people they trust or simply the people that they know they can scare easily.
Begin off with any experiences, which you may have had with ghosts or experiences other people(which you personally know) have had with ghosts. Proceed with the history of ghost hunting. You may like to discuss how ghosts influence mythology, etc.
For the people who are watching you not knowing what your doing it is going to be weird but to people who know what your doing it won't.
A lot of people are, while most people just don't know what to feel so they improvise and feel scared. Some people do not even believe in ghosts and, if/when they DID see a ghost, they would think it was a practical joke...

i don't know but ghosts don't exist
